Don't know if it's been posted but ESPN.com's Skip Bayless wrote this when referring to why he likes the pro game better than the college game. He went on to talk about the NBA's better officiating.
"Last Sunday, I watched Kentucky's Patrick Sparks make an overtime-forcing 3-pointer that was astonishing for the wrong reasons. How did a shot that off-line bounce so softly around the rim and finally fall? Yet the shot was off-line because Sparks was rammed in midair by Michigan State's Kelvin Torbert. No, there wasn't any hand-to-hand or arm-to-arm contact. But that clearly was a shot-changing hip-check foul that was not called.
Sparks should have been shooting a free throw to win a game that Kentucky eventually lost."
Not complaining or anything I just enjoy seeing the media sticking up for us and have been surprised by how many types point out the "foul".
